Love In Between

As Ava and Bruce were about to leave the room, they heard a loud banging on the door. Bruce immediately tensed, knowing that it could only be Mason and Andrew. He quickly pushed Ava behind him, shielding her with his own body as he prepared to defend them.

Ava’s heart was pounding in her chest as the door burst open and Mason and Andrew came charging in. Bruce lunged forward, tackling Mason to the ground and exchanging blows with him. Ava watched in horror as the two men fought fiercely, their grunts and curses filling the room.

Meanwhile, Andrew had pulled out a gun and was pointing it at Bruce. “You’re not taking her away from me!” he shouted.

“Put the gun down, Andrew,” Bruce growled, his eyes locked on his opponent. “It’s over. You’ve lost.”

But Andrew was beyond reason. He pulled the trigger, Bruce was able to dodge the bullet and quickly disarmed him. The gun went off, the bullet hitting the wall.

The police who were outside the room hearing the gunshot, burst in and a shoot-out ensued between Andrew and the police, and Andrew was shot dead but Mason managed to escape.

“Are you okay?” Bruce asked, turning to Ava as he pulled her into his arms.

As they left the room, Ava couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease. Mason was still out there, and she knew that he wouldn’t rest until he had his revenge. She knew that this was far from over. But with Bruce by her side, she knew that they could face anything together.

As Bruce rescued Ava and Chloe from the clutches of Mason and Andrew, he knew they needed some time to rest and recover from the traumatic experience they had just gone through. He gently picked Chloe up in his arms and held Ava’s hand as they made their way out of the dingy room they had been held in. The three of them walked through the dimly lit hallway of the hotel, the sound of their footsteps echoing in the silence.

Bruce led them to a luxurious suite at the hotel, with a king-size bed, a comfortable couch, and a balcony overlooking the city. He laid Chloe down on the bed, tucking her in and making sure she was comfortable. Ava sat on the couch, her eyes still wide with shock and fear. Bruce sat next to her, his arm around her shoulder, as he held her close.

“Are you okay?” he asked softly, his voice filled with concern.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Ava nodded slowly, tears welling up in her eyes. “I can’t believe it’s over,” she said, her voice trembling.

“It’s over,” Bruce reassured her. “You’re safe now. I’ll never let anything like this happen to you again.”

Ava leaned her head on his shoulder, tears streaming down her face. “Thank you,” she whispered.

Bruce held her tightly, rubbing her back soothingly. “I’m just glad you’re safe,” he said, pressing a kiss to her forehead.

They sat in silence for a while, both lost in their own thoughts. Ava’s mind was still reeling from the events of the past few days, and Bruce’s thoughts were focused on keeping her and Chloe safe.

“I’m going to call the police and let them know what happened,” Bruce said, breaking the silence. “I’ll also call my friend in Mexico and ask him to help us with anything we need.”

Ava nodded, still too overwhelmed to speak.

Bruce made the calls, his voice low and serious as he spoke to the authorities and his friend. Ava could hear snippets of the conversation, and she knew that he was doing everything in his power to make sure Mason was brought to justice.

After he hung up the phone, Bruce turned to Ava. “I’ll stay here with you and Chloe until the police arrive. I’m not leaving you alone,” he said, his voice firm.

Ava looked up at him, her eyes filled with gratitude. “Thank you,” she said again.

Bruce smiled, his thumb wiping away her tears. “I love you,” he said, leaning in to kiss her.

Ava closed her eyes, returning the kiss with all the love and passion in her heart. They stayed like that, lost in each other, until the police arrived.

As Ava lay in the hotel room, she couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions. She was relieved to be reunited with Bruce, but she was also filled with anger and frustration at what had transpired. She couldn’t believe that her own cousin, Mason, would be a part of such a heinous plan to kidnap and force her into marriage. She felt betrayed and hurt, but she was also grateful to Bruce for rescuing her and Chloe.

As Bruce sat by her side, holding her hand, she could see the worry and concern etched on his face. He was clearly still affected by the events that had just occurred, and she could tell that he was blaming himself for not being there to protect her and Chloe. Ava tried to reassure him that he had done everything he could, but she could see that he was still struggling with guilt.

As they sat in silence, Ava’s mind raced with thoughts of the future. She knew that they would have to return home and face the consequences of what had happened, but she didn’t know how she would be able to move on from this experience. She knew that she would have to be strong for Chloe’s sake, but she wasn’t sure if she was ready for the road ahead.

Despite all the uncertainty, Ava knew one thing for sure: she was grateful to be alive and reunited with the people she loved most. And with Bruce by her side, she knew that she could face anything that came her way.

As she lay in bed, cuddled up next to Bruce, she felt a sense of safety and security that she hadn’t felt in a long time. She closed her eyes, and despite everything, she found herself drifting off to sleep.

The sound of Bruce’s steady heartbeat and his gentle breathing were soothing to her and she felt her body relax as she let go of all the tension she had been holding onto. She knew she had a lot to process and deal with but for now, she was content to just lay there and feel safe in his arms.

As she drifted off to sleep, she couldn’t help but think about how lucky she was to have him in her life. He was her rock, her protector and her savior. She knew that whatever came their way, they would face it together as long as they had each other. And with that thought, she finally fell into a peaceful sleep, feeling grateful for the man who loved her and saved her and her child.
